There can't be many games that go by without us getting a name check...
Mind you I heard a good one earlier. Commentator on radio was at a ground where the tunnel is in the corner and said this is one of the few grounds where the tunnel is not at the centre there are one or two other including the most famous at Villa Park.

We might be bilge, but nobody can take that away from us.

Amazed they didn't name check the theatre of day trippers

I really don't know how to feel about Leicester.  Got ideas above their station for sure and now down to earth with a bump. Should I feel sorry for them? Probably, but can't help wallowing in their ignominy. No doubt they feel they same about us if they even bother to give us a second thought these days!

On the basis that schadenfreude is about the only footballing pleasure left to Villa supporters I think we should find it hilarious.

Fuck Leicester. They've had their mad half hour and now we can all stop pretending we're happy for them.

It would be fantastic if Leicester went down.

I can see Bournemouth scoring this game. However, I can see Man City scoring more.

Shame that Jesus is already off, I think that he's the next big thing

Well Leicester are now in their natural position so it would be normal service if they went down nothing more.

I'd rather be a Leicester fan and experienced what they did last season than a fan of the vast majority of other football clubs, even if they do get relegated.

Those memories can never be taken away from them and it just have been mental, absolutely bonkers mental.

Niall Quinn isn't biased at all when he commentates on a Citeh game is he?

Well I'd certainly rather have won the league the year before we went down, rather than enduring the five years that we did.

Man Citeh are making really hard going of this. It is a if Bournemouth don't understand they are not anywhere near as good and should not be pressing them so hard that they are retreating further and further back and leaving one up front.
It is a shame they don't have a ground full of .............oh, pooh Aguero. 0-2
Back to the drawing board.

I think that they cut the live audio and used a tape for a while after the "lino, lino, you're a Cnut"
